Exceptional Shooter

The title of my review beszieht in fact on the cinematic story, as well as on the production; "The Darkness 2" is replaced by the cel-shaded look a special look that comes the comic book benefited.
Unlike many shooters, the story is very interesting and clever built - because you come not into temptation, the cutscenes easy to skip.

Jackie Estacado leads now to a Mafia clan and is now faced with the 2nd part of a mystical brotherhood that would take his Bane.
The story switches constantly from reality to delusion and only at the end is revealed to the player that was at all reality - and then there's the grief for his murdered girlfriend Jenny in the first part ...

Graphically, the first person shooter can quite impressive, the effects are well-placed and the area is rich in contrast, but mostly designed bleak.
The German Synchro is not bad, but anyone who knows English, I advise to the original version. Taxes can be Jackie straightforward, the L & R buttons are responsible for the Demon Arms, Spezialaktionnen as weapons channeling and swarm can be performed by triangle or circle. In executions appears what the 4 button you have to choose. These bring the player then essence that can be redeemed at certain stations to talents. Complete Jackie's talent trees helps him to better and new skills, which increases the replayability enormous: The only negative point of criticism is in fact that the story is much too short, starting from the easiest difficulty. Is dispensed with the executions of opponents, the Demon Arms can consume the heart to restore vital energy. Furthermore, Jackie can carry 2 different weapons at the same time and in addition keep a two-handed in the inventory.

The limited edition of the fashionable 3D cover will be a poster and various download codes for comics, character outfit and upgrades.

Finally, the game can be recommended any friend of Shooter and Psycho Horror! The game does not let up even after multiple playthrough, alternatively can also campaign missions and vendettas play, which promise additional employment.

The German version, however, was extremely cut; some cutscenes, executions or Ragdolleffekte are nowhere. If necessary, prefer to use the AT version that also includes German speech output.
